Antique Scandinavian Painted Pine Box, Dated 1837

19th century
Description

A Scandinavian heavy pine box with original red paint and iron strap work, dated 1837 to the front. There is a candle box internally and the box has a fully functional spring loaded lock and key.

A simple and very attractive pine storage box, which is solid and surprisingly heavy. The box is of medium size and may have been a tabletop box, but it is large enough to be floor standing as well.

The box is in good condition throughout with wear and patina you would expect from age. I think the escutcheon is a replacement as there appears to be a mark from a bigger one. The lock is in full working order, though is a little sticky and may benefit from a little oil.

Mainland UK delivery (excluding the Scottish highlands) is included in the price - if you would like a quote for delivery elsewhere, or if you would like to collect the item yourself, please get in touch. Delivery of furniture usually takes between 7 and 21 days from order, though can sometimes take longer. If you need an item by a certain date please speak to us prior to ordering and we’ll try to help.

FAQs

A Scandinavian painted pine coffer is a utilitarian wooden storage chest constructed in northern Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. These boxes were typically made for domestic storage or as dower chests, featuring regional paint decoration, iron strapwork, and frequently marked with the owners initials or the year of manufacture.

These trunks were primarily crafted from native Scots pine or fir timber using traditional joinery such as dovetail or corner-lap joints. They were reinforced with hand-forged wrought iron corner brackets, hinges, and carrying handles, then finished with mineral-based earth pigment paints or milk paint.

Authentic period chests exhibit genuine surface wear, hand-planed timber marks on the reverse or interior, and oxidisation around iron nails and fittings. Painted dates and initials should display natural craquelure and age-appropriate pigment degradation consistent with the underlying wood finish.

An antique painted chest can serve as a focal point at the foot of a bed, function as an occasional coffee table, or sit in an entryway to store shoes and linens. Its warm painted tones and ironwork contrast effectively against neutral contemporary plaster, brick, or timber backgrounds.

Keep the wood in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and dampness to prevent wood movement and paint flaking. Clean gently with a soft dry cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals or water, and apply a light coat of microcrystalline wax to preserve the ironwork and painted surface.
